The death of Life – Queen of Nature

With a flick of her wrist green vines snaked across the pitted and cracked concrete, slamming into the van throwing it into the air. She let out a laugh that pierced the sky, causing the pathetic weak heroes to wince. “You cannot defeat me!” In her mind’s eye she knew they trembled at the truth in her voice. Humans tweaked by science and magic, playing at gods, she – who was born of nature – could not be defeated.
She rose up, her hands blazing with green life. The tip of a wooden spear appeared out of her chest. “No.”
She fell.

That’s a pity. I was warming to her
🤣🤣🤣 well done Neil!
INtriguing take. Well done.
Thanks Mason!
Positive thinking is not necessarily as powerful as we are led to believe! Nice one Laurie.
Here’s mine!
Ah, indeed Keith!
Well dang… I sure didn’t want that to befall her!
Thanks Dale, Me too
I agree with Dale,
Thanks Michael!
Tragic and symbolic of the human struggle with nature, who will win in the end; who has been on the planet the longest; who’ll endure?
Thank you James! That’s what I was aiming for.
If ‘she’ is really nature, I suspect she will have the last laugh in the end.
I think you are right!
Dear Laurie,
That certainly wasn’t the ending I expected.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. A superhero battle but I the end nature defeated nature… only I have the feeling she’ll be back
I guess the bigger they are the harder they fall. Nice take.
Yes indeed!
I wasn’t expecting that as I thought she was a force of nature and ultimately that’ll never be defeated. Nicely done
Ah but humans, even superpowers ones, can destroy anything in their path. Here’s hoping she is resurrected!
Let’s hope she stands up again, otherwise we’re all toast. Unique and exciting take on the prompt.
Yes! Agreed. I have a feeling she is never truly gone for long.
Thanks for reading!
Good title to a sad story 😦
